atouchofstrife | 134... chocobo open house

[ video action if you come visiting]

[There is a unfocused view of bleachers set up in a semi-circle around a large circular dirt road. The road has a rough wooden fence around the outside ring and only a couple sawhorses lining the inside ring. Running around the track are three chocobos, their crests puffed up and their gait the relaxed trot of creatures that are just warming up. three other chocobos were standing outside the track, one getting groomed while the other two waited while trying to snatch at the currying tools of the groomer. The three largest birds were sitting in the central ring. Leaning back against one is Cloud, a small laptop open and resting on his crossed legs. Every once and a while, the chocobo he was using for a back rest would turn and run her beak through his hair.]

[ooc; This can be an open action post for anyone wanting to visit the chocobos, or come looking for a job. The track is in the Underground and there is a secure entrance from the city to the Underground that is monster-free so anyone can get there. It will cost three Reds to visit the chocobos for those over the age of fourteen. Ages six to fourteen are free but they must have an adult with them because chocobos can be dangerous.]

Professional, not.

This coming from a man who can't wear a tie?

...ouch. Touche.

So what do you think of the 'bos? [And Cloud turns the camera to show off the birds, though the big hen he's resting against has to try tasting the camera.]

Looks good. You letting people see them?

Mm.

I was thinking of having a race soon, just for show.

Havin' trouble getting employees?

I've got a few...

No, just want the chocobos get use to all the people here.

It's not like it's Gold Saucer.

It isn't, but the people here are not all human and you wouldn't want them spooked from scenting a demon.

Chocobos aren't all that easily spooked by demons. They've got that nasty meteor spell.

I'm more worried about destroying the track than the damage chocobos would do to the people here.
